7 Reasons to Celebrate April 1st… ONE DOLLAR EACH… No Fooling!

April is going to be a big month at the Mirvish theatres, with seven outstanding shows on stage. Suppose we told you that - today only - you could get tickets to any, or even each and every one of them for only a buck? One dollar! Think it’s a joke? Think again. We have 100 tickets available at $1 each for each of our seven shows!

Here’s what’s on our stages in April: the new musical Rock of Ages, the beloved ABBA-inspired classic Mamma Mia!, the dancing sensation Burn the Floor, the good rockin’ Grease, Mel Brooks’ hilarious Young Frankenstein, the brand-new hit A Jew Grows in Brooklyn and Toronto’s own phenomenal must-see My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding, now extended for the third time!

Today only, you can have a ticket to select April performances of any one (or all) of them for only ONE DOLLAR, with the purchase of one full-price ticket! It’s a savings of 49.99%, and that’s for real. All you have to do is call us at either 416-872-1212 or 1-800-461-3333 and quote the promotional code April

Well, the new season has been announced, and I can save you some money on your tickets - at least 20%. Let me know….

Sorry the blog has been quiet this month, but I was away, and then sick. I’ll pick up the pace again starting next week.

Don’t hesitate to call if you are looking for a week away in the sun. There is lots available.

Burn the Floor visits Toronto direct from its record-breaking run on Broadway!  Subscribers save 20% off regular ticket prices on selected performances Thursday, April 22 through the matinee of Wednesday, April 28! (not available April 24th) The only catch is that you must place your ticket order by Feb. 12.  And I leave Feb 10, so I would need to know by Feb. 9.

Don’t forget Winterlicious in on starting this Friday in Toronto- Barrielicious is on now until Feb 4th (some are going to continue later).

But here are some different ideas: 

Amuse Bouche has Tapas Tuesdays where you can try a sampler plate for $10.00, or a 5 course tasting for $40.00. And wines are at $5.00 a glass. The restaurant is on Tecumseh at King and Bathurst.

Scaramouche has Lobsterlicious now until April. For $60 they serve a lobster centric 3 course meal. This is one of the city’s best, most romantic restaurants with stunning views of Toronto from its Forest Hill location on Benvenuto Place.

Eight Wine Bar 8 Colborne St. Every Friday, the restaurant in the Cosmopolitan Hotel offers all wines by the glass at $1 an ounce. Smaller versions of appetizers are available for $8. This probably is not offered during Winterlicious.

Biff’s 4 Front St. E. This lovely restaurant sells oysters for $1 each (at the bar, not in the dining room).

Oddfellows on Queen Street West has some wild ideas. I have not been there, but recommend you call. I have heard of an all you can eat perogies night among other crazy sounding stuff. It sounds like a cool spot.

Go to www.toronto.com/winterlicious for restaurants, pricing and menus.

4 - Barrielicious is coming January 22 to February 4th. The restaurants have been announced at www.barrielicious.com

5 - Virtuosity is a new show at the St. Laurence Centre for the Arts until January 24th only. It is a fabulous night of exciting song and dance with some Tony award nominated performers. There are some really excellent prices, and I can get seats  - $70.00 at half price. email me if you want me to organize it for you. We went, and it was pretty good - lot’s of talent in little vignettes showcasing their acting, dancing and singing. The front rows are only $25.00 each, and I can still get them half price!!! Amazing deal.
